SHARON HAYES

Sharon Hayes is an artist who uses video, performance, sound and public sculpture to expose specific intersections between history, politics and speech, to unspool reductive historical narratives and to re-ignite dormant pathways through which counter-understandings of the contemporary political condition can be formed. In her work, she lingers in the grammars–linguistic, affective and sonic–through which political resistance appears.

On the letterpress collaboration with 10 Grand Press: “May 1st extends my interest in the intersections between private and public, personal and political, life. These five letterpress prints together compose an address to an unnamed lover – about and around the potent pleasure and despair of political desire.”
